:D WOW! That is a beauty, Chris.

Are you keeping that one for yourself? Nice work. Any particular tricks/tips on puting that type of thing together?
Thanks & enjoy.:D

nope nothing special just glue together my scraps and surface them and glue more and then do it like any other pen

[John Shuk]

It looks great. It kinda looks like a nice quilt.

John,

Here are some threads I generated on segmented pens (both wooden and Corian):

They look like quilts.

Would they sell at a quilt shop?

Ken,

Thanks for your help & response.

Nice work!
Maybe you already know about this, but I stumbled across this a while back.
You can order 4x4 ($2) or 2x2" ($1) samples of any color Corian made. Might come in handy.

i have been getting my corian from a friend who does cabinet work for a living that also installs corian ( and other brands) countertops

recently he gave me a 6' x18" piece of green along with a bunch of other colors

your best bet to get stuff for free is find out if anyone in your area installs them and see if they have any scraps

What sort of glue do you use to glue up for Corian? I have epoxy, CA and Titebond II for glueing brass tubes. Will one or any of those work or do I need something special??

Thanks.

[Chris Rolke]

i just use either thin or thick CA

just scuff the surfaces
